NIGP 30553: Graphic Art Type Supplies

NIGP 30553 Graphic Art Type Supplies, an Item code, encompasses brushes, paints (tempera, acrylic, oil, watercolor), canvas board, pastels, charcoal, chalk, clay, ink, erasers, easels, art paper, pencils, and craft supplies that state and local governments — primarily school districts — procure for classroom instruction and administrative use. School districts dominate procurement under this code, establishing vendor rosters through catalog discount bidding to enable employees to purchase supplies on an as-needed basis throughout the school year and optional renewal periods.
